Why does vanity sizing exist in jeans?

Today I did my biannual shop for jeans and the waist size variance for what is purportedly the same measurement was ridiculous. 34" should be 34". I should be able to pick up a pair of 34R jeans off the rack and take them home without having to try them beforehand on just to make sure I don't need a 32R pair instead.

I'd assume it's the difference between jeans you wear at the hip vs at the waist, rather than to make people feel less fat.

Who the fuck wears jeans at the waist?

Also OP sounds like a fat shit, you're a 36" waist just accept it.

Maybe it's a counter trend to all the teenlads wearing their jeans so low that you can see the Calvin Klein boxers that their mum bought them.

Lots of people. The dimensions vary tremendously across the legwear/bottoms range for men and women. Not surprising as humans vary quite a lot too.

I see what you're saying, as technically the waist should be worn at the waist, which is usually different to a hip measurement. However I agree with the OP, a simple waistband measurement in inches would be more useful than any estimates on behalf of the manufacturer.

OP, it's possible they were using Euro sizing, which also often doesn't make much sense.

Inches are different on the mainland?

You think people use inches in Europe?

Just because they use the metric system doesn't mean that they don't know what an inch is and can't have their own definition of it.

It's more that they use a different measurement entirely. I'm not sure what the numbers could mean, as they're not cm, and don't seem right as a leg length/inseam.

Chart is just an example I quickly pulled off Google.
